I am in the State of Oregon.
I took my engine to have bored and honed to these new pistons I was going to install in the engine. Basically what they did was they drilled out too much material so that the pistons I provided them would not work in the engine. So not only do I have pistons I can't use with the motor I am tryin to fix, but I have a engine that is basically ruined.
The maximum bore size of the engine can be 84.5mm. The pistons I gave them are 84mm. So if the engine blows up I can have it rebuilt 1 more time due to the fact I still have .5mm left. So basically to fix the engine I need to get larger pistons and bore out the engine to 84.5mm. But what sux is, I now have pistons I can't use, and I have a engine that has 1 less rebuild on it. Meaning if the engine blows up this time, I have to get a new engine. If they did there job right, then if I did blow up the engine I would still be able to rebuild it 1 more time. But now I can'tdo that because they took too much material out. Does that make any sense?
So I either need to sell the pistons and buy new ones and have another machine shop fix the block to accept these larger pistons. But I should not have to fork out the money for new pistons. They should also be buying me a new block due to the fact they have made it so that I can't rebuild the engine again if something does happen. I do not have a safety zone.
The only problem is, I can't have this engine just sit here. I need to get it fixed. If I fix the motor can I still take him to court to get money for the money I spend on pistons and also money to get my motor fixed back to it's original state. Due to the fact he has ruined my motor so I can't rebuild it again. The machine shop has basically shortened the life of the motor due to there mistake.
If they did there job right I would have a motor that I can fix 1 more time. If the motor blows up, I can fix it one more time before I need a new motor. But since they screwed up, and my motor goes caboom..I can't rebuild it, I must get a new motor right away.
